Man. So Idk if I'm gonna be rollin or not. Gotta tear a bunch back apart to pull the water pump and see wtf is wrong. And re-test this new thermostat just to make sure. Almost certain its the water pump but wanna make sure before I let Honda rob me for one lol. Gonna try to get time cuz I'm itching to meet while the weather is half way decent. Also sucks not having anybody around here that can help. Solo work gets boring sometimes lol.

Idk where I got red from then, wtf? Lol.
Yeah. And today I went to pull my water pump and noticed hella slack on my timing belt on the right side after the tensioner. But I called the local Acura dealer to get prices for all the parts I could possibly need. and they wanted way more than acuraoemparts.com. so I will have to wait and see wat I need and wait on shipping. But now I'm thinking its a bad tensioner not water pump.

So guys. My luck gets even better. Jacked up my car, pulled a wheel to get at the crank pulley. Mine didn't fit with the motor in the car....so run up to rent one, spaced and forgot to put my car on Jack stands..... come back to find my car on the ground with a fucked up fender, bumper and my brand new lip got fucked up. Pissed. So now I need to replace that shit. Gonna look like every other ricer out here with different colored body panels. Bout ready to step back and take a break from this damn car. Nothing has gone smooth this time for some stupid reason........ /end rant.

oh man, that sucks dlo, im sorry to hear that dude, just keep driving on with your build, ive been in a similar sitution when i had my mr2 except i bent a rotor and my fender and cracked my bumper too... my brother got in a fight in the driveway and slammed the other guy into the fender and i guess the jackstands werent holding it up as much as we thought... that car was such a pain to work on.. i couldnt do simple maintenance without a backache.

Yeah, luckily it musta slowly lost pressure cuz my rotor seemed to be Alright.
Hahah damn that's shitty, I hear that I can't work on this thing without a bad ass back ache either.
After a couple days the bumper slowly went back in a little so it's not as bad, still drives me crazy. Still haven't figured out what I'm gonna do. Dents blow dick but so does mismatched panels fml hahah
